Gigi

Robbie adopted Gigi many years ago and trained her as a service animal. Robbie suffers from sleep apnea and sometimes, at night, she stops breathing. When this happens, Gigi Marie is trained to lick Robbie in the face to wake her up. She says Gigi has saved her life many times!

Baylee

"Both vets are recommending surgery... and I don't know what to do. I'm sorry for reaching out and asking for help, but I'm scared, and I know I can't let my furbaby suffer. But I don't know what to do, as I have my own medical bills… I'm used to helping others and their fur babies, so it's a hard one for me to swallow."

As a veterinary technician, Lamiya had dedicated her life to helping pets heal. But when her own pup, Baylee, suffered a major medical issue, Lamiya didn't know where to turn for help.

Luna

Luna's owner was worried. The 8-year-old pup was having trouble keeping food down. A trip to the emergency vet revealed that she was suffering from a pyometra, a potentially deadly infection in her uterus. She needed surgery to save her life, but the estimate at the emergency hospital was more than her owner's finances could bear. Luna's owner turned to Second Chance for help.

Katie

When 9-year-old Katie arrived at Gold Ribbon Rescue, she received full dental x-rays and a comprehensive exam. It turned out that Katie was in dire need of critical dental care. The exterior surface of one tooth had sheared off down into the gum line, two other teeth had significant bone loss at the roots, and all of her teeth had tartar accumulation.

Katie was feeling much better after three extractions and a full dental cleaning (enough to flash her beautiful new smile!). The next mission: find this sweet senior girl a forever home.
